Finally Revealed! Acne Drug Accutane's Side Effect Is Death. So Why Is It Still on the Market?

Just this morning, I read a new that caught my attention in my mail box. It’s about the deadly side effect of accutane on acne sufferers. It says - A New Jersey man won a $25 million verdict after he alleged that Roche (RHHBY.PK)’s acne drug Accutane gave him an inflammatory bowel disorder that required the removal of his colon. This is horrible, isn’t it? According to the article, - the verdict raises a question: If Accutane (generic name isotretinoin) has such dramatic side effects, why is it still on the market? The question is not trivial. Taking Accutane can kill you. Or, if you get pregnant, it can kill your baby. Literally. So why will people buy what will kill them with their hard earned money? The article further listed the side effects as:
  • ·         miscarriages (patients must be on birth control when using it)
  • ·         birth defects (facial and nervous system deformities, mental retardation)
  • ·         increased internal skull pressure
  • ·         bone mineral density
  • ·         depression
  • ·         psychosis
  • ·         suicide
  • ·         aggressive or violent behaviors
  • ·         acute pancreatitis
  • ·         “unknown” cardiovascular consequences
  • ·         deafness
  • ·         hepatitis
  • ·         bowel disease
  • ·         excessive bone growth
  • ·         night blindness and sight loss

  • All this for a drug that cures acne. Even Roche gave up marketing this drug after the cost of lawsuits became greater than its profits. One is tempted to conclude that Accutane essentially functions as a poison that kills acne before it kills you.


    That is why I have been a very strong advocate of using natural mean to sure your acne holistically once and for all with no side effect. For a complete guide to natural acne treatment, this ebook ACNE NO MORE is highly recommended. This will teach you the how-to of curing your acne holistically once and for all.

uiritI tried every over-the-counter treatment out there and even many prescriptions. Nothing worked. Occasionally I would see temporary results, but my acne always came back with a vengeance.
